                      HON. GEORGE J. HOCHBRUECKNER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 12, 1994

  Mr. HOCHBRUECKNER. Mr. Speaker, with great pleasure I commend Suffolk 
County Community College for its commitment to excellence in the 
education of residents of Long Island, NY.
  The month of April, 1994 is National Community College Month. During 
this month, Suffolk County Community College and other community 
colleges throughout the Nation will be recognized for the wonderful 
educational services they provide for their communities. Nationally, 50 
percent of all first-time students enrolled at institutions of higher 
education attend community colleges. Community colleges offer services 
and programs to all types of students, whether they be full-time 
students, full-time workers or parents returning to school, or college 
graduates taking extension courses.
  Suffolk County Community College has a proud tradition on Long Island 
because of its low-cost, its convenient locations, and its quality 
curriculum. The college produces well-educated and skilled graduates 
who competently assume positions in the work force, and who positively 
contribute to the Long Island economy.
  Suffolk County Community College is also dedicated to being a good 
neighbor and contributor to the enrichment of Long Island communities 
through public service activities, including workshops and community 
forums for residents.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend Suffolk County Community College during 
National Community College month for its dedication and commitment to 
providing Long Islanders quality educational programs.
